the purpose of this study was to develop a sensitive and fast microdialysis coupled with high-performance liquid chromatographic (hplc) method for determination of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (5-hmf) in free-moving rats after i.g. administration of the aqueous extract of crud fructus corni and its processed products of jiuzheng pin (jzp). the concentration of 5-hmf in free-moving rats after i...

The antioxidant properties oí Acantholippia deserticola, a herb used in traditional northern Chilean medicine was studied using free radical-generating systems. The 50% aqueous-ethanol extract oí Acantholippia deserticola protected against non-enzymatic lipid peroxidation in microsomal membranes of rat, induced by an Fe++-ascorbate system and measured spectrophotometrically by the TBARS test, a...

Objective: Some evidence suggests that chronic uptake of estragole and methyl-eugenol, found in the essential oil of Artemisia dracunculus (tarragon), may be associated with an increased risk of hepato-carcinogenicity. The present study was conducted to investigate the immumodulatory and anti-inflammatory potentials of estragole and methyl-eugenol free extract of tarragon. Materials and Methods...

Thymelaea hirsuta (L.) Endl. , known as ‘Methnane’ in Algeria, is a widely medicinal plant used folk medicine. In the present study, vitro antioxidant activity of T. hirsta extracts and impact extraction solvent polarity on potential were investigated. Three types polar solvents with decreasing chosen; water for decocted extract, methanol-water at 50% absolute methanol macerated extracts. Total...

The objective of the present study was to determine the antilipidperoxidation and in vitro α-amylase and lipase inhibitory activity of the Boswellia ovalifoliolata Bal Henry (BOB) extract. The polyphenolic compounds, flavonoids, and tannins content of the extracts were estimated by spectrophotometry. Antioxidant activity on goat liver lipid peroxidation and linoleic acid was d...

      The purpose of this study was to develop a sensitive and fast microdialysis coupled with high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for determination of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (5-HMF) in free-moving rats after i.g. administration of the aqueous extract of crud Fructus corni and its processed products of jiuzheng pin (JZP). The concentration of 5-HMF in free-movi...

The tenderisation effects of pineapple (Josephine variety) core extracts on the quality free-range chicken meat using different maceration concentrations (30%, 50%, and 100%) duration (15, 25, 35 min) were analysed. Texture profile analysis, colour, pH, bromelain content, microbiological analyses macerated samples assessed. Broiler breast with extract (100%, showed 86% reduction in hardness pH ...

The aqueous extract of Syzygium cumini (Pulp) was investigated for its possible hypoglycemic and antioxidant potentials in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic wistar female rats. A single intraperitoneal injection of STZ at a dose of 55 mg/kg body weight elevated the glucose levels more than 230 mg/dl after 3 days. Treatment with the aqueous extract of Syzygium cumini (Pulp) at 100 mg/kg ...

The study explored on the commonly available weed plant Commelina nudiflora which has potential in-vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. The different polar solvents such as ethanol, chloroform, dichloromethane, hexane and aqueous were used for the soxhlet extraction. The extracts were identified pharmacologically as important bioactive compounds and their potential free radical scaveng...
